Do studies show often show increases in student achievement? No, these horse race studies never shine positive on technology and networked learning. In fact more research, which may show early signs of replication is a drop in learning.I know we saw this when introducing online reading comprehension.

When you take away time to learn content as you use the tools of a discipline scores fall on measures of the content knowledge.

Yet the variables and goals of these studies often do not align with the goals of networked learning.

What if we focused on civic and community engagement before we framed school as college and career ready? These value propositions get layered in the research.
